The Wells Academy is a co-educational secondary school for 11-16 yr olds, located in the St Ann's area of Nottingham in the English county of Nottinghamshire. [1]
Elliot Durham School was established at the current school site in 1966. It was designed as an 11 to 16 co-educational school housed in its own purpose-built accommodation on a very attractive site. The sports facilities included a sports hall with a full size of basketball court, four badminton courts and areas for gymnastics, indoor football, netball and hockey, and a small carpeted hall for dance and aerobics. Outside there are four tennis courts, two floodlit astro-turf fields, extensive playing fields and pool. The school was not popular with parents and though having a capacity of 1350, it had only 353 students on roll on 2003. [2]
It had just 21% A* to C grades at GCSE in 2007, including maths and English, though that was a rise on the 7% two years previously; considerably down on the 47.6% average for secondary schools in England. It was a classified as a "national challenge" school, ones where fewer than 30% of pupils achieve five GCSE passes including in maths and English, it was told to rapidly improve or close down. [3]
In 2009 it formally merged with Greenwood Dale School and The Jesse Boot Primary School to form Nottingham Academy, a new City Academy which was located over the former three school sites. Nottingham Academy was sponsored by the Greenwood Academies Trust. [4] The former Elliot Durham School site was then renamed The Nottingham Academy Ransom Campus and refurbished.
In November 2018 the Greenwood Academies Trust announced plans to de-merge the two secondary school sites, with The Nottingham Academy Ransom Campus becoming a separate school. [5] The changes took effect from September 2020: The Nottingham Academy Ransom Campus becoming 'The Wells Academy'. [6]
